From the back cover:<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s 1993, and Diane McTigue’s life is following a carefully charted course. Diane begins her career as a Philadelphia lawyer, but living in six-minute billable increments ignites a severe case of imposter syndrome. A perfect storm of sleep deprivation, a misguided Halcion prescription, a robotic Freudian psychoanalyst, and other factors lead to a complete mental and functional breakdown. In this forthright account, Diane reveals the apathy and compulsive thoughts that may accompany a descent into major depression and severe anxiety, while encouraging others that they too can emerge stronger and feel better again.<\/p>\n About the author:<\/strong><\/p>\n Diane McTigue graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and Boston University School of Law, and did lawyering stints as a large law firm associate, in-house counsel, and solo practitioner. Diane began writing when her duties as a full-time mother of three and chronic volunteer phased down. She and her husband of twenty-nine years divide their time between the Philly suburbs and Long Beach Island, New Jersey. Diane is currently working on her first novel.<\/p>\n About MindStir Media:<\/strong><\/p>\n MindStir Media LLC is an award-winning book publisher.
